Patent CA-2313398-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TENCH D MORGAN
IPC: G02F1/1506
Filed: 1998-12-15
Abstract: An electrochemical device includes a transparent first electrode (106) and a second electrode (110) distributed in localized areas. An electrolytic solution (112), disposed between and in electrical contact with the first and second electrodes, contains ions (116) of a metal which can electrodeposit on the first and second electrodes. Atoms of this metal (114) are deposited on the first or the second electrode. A negative electrical potential applied to the first electrode causes deposited metal to be dissolved from the second electrode into the electrolytic solution and to be electrodeposited from the solution onto the first electrode, thereby affecting the propagation of electromagnetic radiation (122) through the device.       Conversely, a positive electrical potential applied to the first electrode causes deposited metal to be dissolved from the first electrode and electrodeposited from the solution onto the second electrode, thereby increasing the transmissivity of the device.

Title: Automated use of public record information to automatically complete real estate transactions
Inventor: BARRETT BRUCE A
IPC: G06Q50/16
Filed: 2000-09-01
Abstract: A computer system is configured to obtain public records data and possibly Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data as well. A public record related to a property (or a public record and an MLS record related to the property) may be used to form a transaction record of the property, wherein the transaction record includes fields derived from the public records data or fields derived from the public records data and fields derived from the MLS data. By accessing the transaction record, the relevant public records data (or the relevant public records data and MLS data) for a given process may be accessed. The accessed information may then be used to automate the real estate transaction by automatically filling in forms related to a given process with information from fields in the transaction record.

Inventor: BOHLING MICHAEL
IPC: B23K26/282
Filed: 2000-08-31
Abstract: A process and device for the laser treatment of the internal surfaces of hollow bodies such as engine blocks with cylinder bores which consist of the matrix alloys such as a light-metal or aluminum. wherein a wear-resistant coating is applied to the working surfaces of the pistons within the cylinder. A probe enters the cylinder and includes the laser beam which produces a beam spot on the internal surface of the cylinder and applies an alloying powder at the focus of the spot using a continuously conveying protective gas. The probe is displaced along the axis of the cylinder and simultaneously rotated while the alloying powder is melted in the spot of the laser beam to a depth sufficient to form a wear-resistant coating which will not break loose during the normal operation and life of the engine block. The engine block can be fixed in a stationary position while the probe or probes move simultaneously within the cylinders to apply the hardened surface coating.

Abstract: A network server system for processing client requests received over a communication network includes a server farm having a number of servers. A  load management switch or other network element is coupled between a set of clients and the server farm, and processes client requests for network services so as to implement a desired load balancing policy. The switch collects server statistics regarding, e.g., type of connections being serviced, delivered throughput, response time and number of active connections for each of the servers. The value of an objective function is then determined for each of the servers based on the collected statistics, and a particular one of the servers is selected for servicing one or more client requests based on the computed values of the objective function. Each of the servers may have associated therewith a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address and a common shared IP address corresponding to an advertised address of the server farm. The switch may be configured such that packets corresponding to the client requests are directed to particular servers without any modification of the IP addresses in the packets. For example, the packets may be routed by altering a local network address of a packet, such as an Ethernet media access control (MAC) address of a packet, so as to allow the packet to be delivered to a selected one of the servers.

The container preferably provides a mounting point for the base and incorporates flexible ventilated structural panels along one or more or all surfaces and includes an internal strapping arrangement to provide an adjustable locking mechanism to secure and contain the transported equipment. The harness system is designed for multiple application use to accommodate placement of the transported equipment in different locations and configurations, and includes fasteners and straps designed to secure the system both from the interior and exterior, along with multiple attachment points to allow for adjustment of either the external harness system and/or internal harness system to accommodate differently sized and/or constructed anchoring points for the unit. An optional carrying strap is designed so the system can be transported as a hand held unit, and fasteners and straps can be arranged so that the unit can be hung from any mounting point. The unit optionally includes a modular storage case which is used for storage of accessories and personal items, which can be opened and hinged down or removed entirely from the unit in order to allow carrying or positioning in a different location.
